The International Center's Leadership Across Cultures conference returns for third year

INDIANAPOLIS - July 15, 2016 - PRLog -- Emerging business leaders across the Midwest are invited to attend Leadership Across Cultures, The International Center's premier two-day conference designed to actively develop intercultural skills and leadership competencies, on August 18-19 in Indianapolis, Ind.

Leadership Across Cultures will enable participants to hear from experts who work in the global arena while also being instructed on practices and attitudes necessary to being successful in an intercultural environment.

"As the boundaries between nations shrink, it has become virtually impossible to successfully conduct business in an isolated fashion," said Martin Baier, vice president of programs and services at The International Center. "The International Center created this program three years ago to address the pressing needs businesses faced as they looked to serve global markets that seemed untouchable a few short years ago. We've been inspired by the fruitful results our past participants have achieved and have strived to elevate the program to a new level."

Topics to be covered in this year's program include: how to work with virtual global teams; interpreting leadership styles across cultures; communicating across cultures; and more. A full course itinerary can be found on The International Center's website (http://www.internationalcenter.org/leadership-across-cult...).

Leadership Across Cultures is open to all paid participants although enrollment is limited. Register before July 17 for a special early bird rate.  Fees include tuition, meals, beverages, parking and all course materials. Out-of-town attendees are encouraged to contact Garth Eberhart at geberhart@internationalcenter.org for information about discounted hotel rates at the Hampton Inn Downtown.
